Nine journalists arrested in Eritrea

The Eritrean authorities have arrested at least nine journalists in daily raids over the last 11 days. The detainees, all employees of state-owned media outlets, have reportedly been taken to a detention centre at Agip. "Terror reigns again among journalists in Eritrea," said the press watchdog, Reporters Without Borders. "The government controls its people by means of lies, fear and violence. The international community must intercede as a matter of urgency." (Via AllAfrica.com)
